This bill enacts a new provision under R.S. 17:170(A)(4) that prohibits any person from being required to receive a COVID-19 vaccine as a condition for initial enrollment or ongoing attendance at public or nonpublic schools in Louisiana. The legislation aims to ensure that vaccination against COVID-19 cannot be mandated for students in these educational settings.

The new legal language explicitly states that this requirement applies notwithstanding any other provisions of law, thereby reinforcing the intent of the bill to protect individuals from being compelled to receive the COVID-19 vaccine for educational purposes. This addition reflects a broader legislative trend towards personal choice regarding vaccination in the context of school attendance.
